 Il Delfino Blu,

A Turkisch family, and he's behind the stove. Learned it after years working under an italian chef this restaurant serves a lot of italian food. All the items can be brought to your doorstep as well. It's such good quality for the price. Their meat is absolute perfect. Their pasta (choose the oven baked versions) are delicious - especially the spinach, ricotta and gorgonzola one :-).

Order it, get it yourself and they even give you a 10% discount.

It's not just another ordinairy italian on the corner. I love the food. And they are currently rebuilding the restaurant (red. from January 2012 till about half of February 2012). The new concrete for the floor is already done ...

The calamari are good to start with - it quite a lot though

Vitello Tonato is also nice

The pasta's - especially the baked from the oven ones

Makes a lovely chicken, and the tournedos is very, very good

The fries are always fresh - Salad is standard - and the turkish bread with garlic butter as well

Tiramisu as dessert ....

Even makes a very nice sparerib

De Kroon - Amsterdam

De Kroon ... for years my favourite. The place, the location, the bar, the entrance, the serre. It changed a lot over the years. But the atmosphere is still there. Not for an entire evening, but to start or to end your evening in the city. The staff is ..... let's say it can take some time before your drink is served.

The place is amazing ... look at the virtual tour of the place at http://www.dekroon.nl/?p=info&s=info_vr

Menu Chateau à € 85,00

Chateau Mercuès 2004

This Chateau is on route to Cahors. Way up the hill you can only see a small part of this Chateau that's there for almost a thousand years now. Once driven up the hill you can see how big it is. It's a beautiful Chateau with a vineyard and also the wine is made on the premises. The Chateau also has a huge and beautiful wine cellar, showing to the public. But all is fair, we came for the food & beverage ... :-)

Good restaurant, pity that during the 'restaurantweek' they will keep the same menu as the years before it. Good and simple food. Nothing too special, but as fresh as you can get it. Perfect location as well!
